New virus targeting Symbian phones


Symbian users beware! Again a virus threat for Symbian mobile phones has surfaced. The latest virus is called METAL Gear.a. This time the virus disables existing anti-virus software on the phone.

METAL Gear.a purports to be a Symbian OS-port of the PC and console game title “Metal Gear Solid” with an installation file named METAL Gear.sis. When installed, however, the trojan immediately disables specified anti-virus software on the phone, as well as all file explorers and various other applications. It then installs a variant of Cabir.c, the previously reported “Skulls” trojan.
